Recognise Portrait Drawings in the Detail

British Ileana Hunter defines herself as a Graphite Artist. We have featured her before, in a post called (Minimalist Hyper-Realistic Portraits). Hunter has a very distinctive drawing style, minimalist in its execution. Even though part of the drawing almost looks incomplete, the details that she puts in, are sufficient to recognise who the picture is of. In the image above, called "The Two Audreys", Hunter divides the image in two, on the left the reference image and on the right, the image she has drawn. The process highlights how just a few features of our faces are enough to recognise a person.
